We both retired in May of 2006. For the first 6 years we were avid RV'ers and addicted to the game of Pickleball. In September of 2013 we sold the RV and bought a house on the canal to Lake June in Lake Placid, FL where we continue to meet new people and make new friends. Fishing is our favorite past-time now. THANK YOU to our families and friends, old and new, for making our retirement the best chapter in our life so far.

SOOOOO tired of doctors offices and tests!!!!

And so the saga continues. First for Rich. Tomorrow will be the last of the high dosage anti-biotics. We've seen some improvement in the arm, however their continues to be some swelling, and the wound continues to drain. Needless to say it's been a bad three weeks! He also completed one of two ultra-sounds.... but the results of the carotid didn't look too good, doctor wanted to see him right away....so he's now scheduled for a CT Scan of that area, and then a two day check of the femoral artery!!!

Me? Well in addition to the EKG coming back abnormal, so did my Eco-Cardiogram, AND the Nuclear Stress Test. So the doctor says there is a possibility of needing a heart catheter, but before we do that I'm scheduled for a CT, Angiogram of the Coronary arteries - to check for blockage! That is scheduled for the end of the month.

Enough of that - my blood pressure is rising!!!!!!!

Since I can't do a whole lot outside....I've spent my time doing some cookin'. We've had Tuna Noodle, Shepherds Pie, Roast Beef, and today we enjoyed Chicken Parmesan......we also made some Tagalong (Chocolate/Peanut Butter) Cookies and some Peanut Butter Cups!

And we had a very pleasant surprise on Wednesday. On our way back home from the cardiologist, we decided to stop for dinner. We had already decided that it would be Denny's or I-HOP..........but we ended up at Hibachi Grill......where we ran into Rick and Judy Haphey! I used to work with Judy at Thousand Trails Peace River. It was nice seeing them both, and we promised to let them know when we made a stop to see friends at the park.
